>the best superhero game ever made
>and its not even close

How do we go from peak like this to absolute shit like that suicide squad game? This game set the perfect formula for hero games and it should have given us a decade of absolute kino sequels and DC versions of said game, what do you think? Is it overrated or do you like it as much as I do?

Playing the X-Men versions of these games and UA itself were really fun parts of my childhood. I remember them being brutally difficult, though that might have been because I was a dumb little kid. Either way I was super disappointed with how UA3 played, it just felt off compared to the others and also way too easy

XML2 is better

Wonder if Nintendo will ask Koei Tecmo/Team Ninja to make an Ultimate Alliance 4, since they did just that for Ultimate Alliance 3.

I vividly remember playing on hard, having 3/4 teammates getting knocked out, and just teleport spamming with Deadpool until I chopped the boss down. Made me go out and buy his comics.

For me i ended up playing with Spiderman quite a lot, I just really enjoyed his abilities and playstyle, plus the mobility the web slinging offers. Overall the game was great. For me personally, my favorite part is always the carnival level.
>>
>>738855541
This, even Legends 1, at least I remember having more fun with both Legends games than Ultimate Alliance.
>>
>>738855968
I never ended up playing the sequels cause I heard they weren't very good, os that true or should I give em a try?

>>738854425
Games up until gen 7ish were gameplay focused, with an emphasis on fun
When normies entered the landscape en masse, so did the "need" for mature storytime so they can pretend they're not playing an overly sophisticated toy, and with that, as well as a industry wide emphasis on realistic human "experiences", in part because grafux and immersion faggots, you get social commentary as well
It doesn't help that the industry is immensely creativity bankrupt and can only make 1 of 6 or 7 genres anymore because UE limitations, incompetence, or laziness
tl;dr
Old good, new bad

it was good, very fun. I heard the sequels were shit.
>>
>>738854425
because 1 suicide squad is dc not marvel
>>
>>738858402
Im aware, but you'd think DC would copy such a good game since they're in direct competition.

>mid game is the best superhero game ever made
why are superhero games so shit?
How has no one made a legit great one yet?

>teleport spamming with Deadpool until I chopped the boss down.
Same, that's how I beat the final boss in Ultimate Alliance 2. Deadpool had health regen, too.

>mid game
Well, you're being pretty honest about having shit taste so ill let it slide.

>DC versions of said game
That existed, kind of

niether company know what they are doing game wise if we are being for real. if this was the good timeline, we would have spider-man games that embrace the fantasy of the universe, wonder woman wouldn't be cancelled, and we would have a batman beyond game that also wasnt cancelled
>>
>>738860106
They did and it was called justice league heroes and you never heard of it because it flopped and sucked
>>
>>738854425
I still like X-Men Legends more, but yeah, MUA was fun as fuck. MUA2 was nice with the combo moves, too.
>>
>>738855968
MUA3 is slop. If we're to get a MUA4, I'd rather it be someone else who does it.

gets mogged by pic related, but really, both games were great, and is not me being blinded by nostalgia because i came to play them as an adult not so long ago
>>
>>738864543
When's the last time we got any actually good DC games other than the batman arkham series?
>>
>>738855478
The game is terribly unbalanced, so if you pick bad heroes it can be very difficult, especially if you're under some impression that you should occasionally change team members
